Ex-TYPE O NEGATIVE Drummer Remembers Former Bandmate PETER STEELE
April 16, 2010, 14 years ago
Ex-TYPE O NEGATIVE drummer Sal Abruscato has issued the following tribute to former bandmate Peter Steele, who passed away on April 14th from apparent heart failure:
"There are not many words that can describe how you affected my life Peter. From the times of hanging in your basement as a kid, the first meetings we had about Type O Negative, to getting chased all over Europe by radical left wing groups with bomb threats and eventually creating one of the most influential albums of all time.You affected me and influenced me as an artist and as a person, you were one of the funniest and most generous friends I ever knew. It is an honor to have been there with you through the rough times we call the beginning and now the end. I am the musician I am today because of you and I thank you with all my heart my friend.
I will miss you and I love you.
This is truly the end of an era."
